The fact is that Microsoft Office is still lightyears ahead of Open/Libre/Whatever-Office. And enterprises need that office suite.
And the integration between Office, ActiveDirectory and Office365 (their cloud service) is just awesome, spot on. It's impressively good as a groupware solution.
Outlook on Windows is fairly okay, and covers the needs of 99% of the office workers (Outlook on Mac OS is superb, by the way).
The thing is: until the FOSS alternative becomes a no-brainer, enterprises will keep paying for Office, and thus for Windows.
